Creepy Nuts announced their first-ever North American tour. The Japanese hip-hop duo consisting of R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga will play a series of three standalone shows surrounding their debut performances at Coachella.
The pair is coming off a breakthrough year that saw Creepy Nuts’ “Otonoke” become the most-streamed Japanese song abroad in 2025, their first Asia tour and a show at the famed Tokyo Dome that drew approximately 50,000 fans. Additionally, their massive hit “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” made the Top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 chart.
After performing at the first weekend of Coachella, Creepy Nuts will head to New York City for a concert on April 13 at the Hammerstein Ballroom. R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga hit Chicago on April 15 before returning to Coachella. Creepy Nuts will close out the brief excursion with a show on April 19 in Mexico City.
Tickets for all three headlining shows go on sale Friday, January 30.
